My analytics career for major banks began in 1995 when I was hired into a think tank created by Citibank to create stress test models for their retail portfolios. Since then I have focused on research, software development, consulting, and training courses around forecasting and stress testing. I have had a significant roll in Basel II, SCAP, CCAR, DFAST stress testing for top 20 banks, regional banks, and credit unions in the US, top 5 UK, top 5 Australia, and leading banks in Asia and Canada. I have also been helping lenders prepare for the coming CECL regulations for computing the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL). We have published two books and several articles on best practices in CECL modeling. • 20+ years experience in retail lending analytics, with emphasis on forecasting and stress testing• Built, validated, or documented models for many CCAR and DFAST banks, including building leading-edge loan-level stress test models.• The technology, algorithms, and software I developed while running Strategic Analytics have been used by many top CCAR and DFAST banks for their primary or benchmark model submissions. • Extensive research into CECL modeling strengths, weaknesses, and best practices.I am also cofounder of the CUSO Deep Future Analytics LLC where I serve as Chief Scientist and COO.
